H-Net network on Russian and Soviet history

Welcome to H-Russia, a member of H-Net Humanities & Social Sciences Online. H-Russia encourages scholarly discussion of Russian and Soviet studies and history and makes available diverse bibliographical, research, and teaching aids.

One of my students plans to write her college honors thesis next year on the unpublished childhood memoir of Vladimir Nikolaevich Kokovtsov, who was a career civil servant in the imperial government and occupied posts of some importance under Nicholas II. She will be translating and annotating sections of this manuscript (she's a native speaker). Does anyone know anything about this individual? Many thanks.

Time and venue: 25-27 October 2017, University of Helsinki, FinlandOrganiser: Aleksanteri Institute, University of Helsinki and Finnish Centre of Excellence in Russian Studies “Choices of Russian Modernisation”
